President Obama told a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser in L.A. last night that the country is “not going to make good choices unless we break out of this cycle in which dysfunction breeds cynicism, and cynicism then breeds more dysfunction.”

“I’m in trouble at home. And the reason is, is because I told Michelle back in 2012 I had run my last campaign, but a couple months ago, I had to let her in on a secret, and that is, honey, I got one more campaign I got to run,” he quipped to a well-heeled audience including Barbra Streisand, James Brolin and Jeffrey Katzenberg. “I need to make sure we continue to have a Democratic Senate, and I need a Democratic House of Representatives in Washington. And I’m going to do everything I can to make that happen.”

Obama lamented that “despite the progress that we’ve made on issues that are important to everybody here, there’s still disquiet around the country.”

He talked up the minimum wage effort at the Bel Air home of Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn, where ticket prices ranged from $10,000 to $32,400.

Actually, the House indicts (however much that process is called "impeachment") and the Senate holds the trial and removes after a vote. Semantics.

That said, you are certainly correct about the 2/3 vote.

Uhmmm, Obama YOU and your actions are the reason for the cynism. Remove yourself from the equation; problem solved.

He's also the reason for the disfunction.

Yes, and that's the scary part.
